Exploration of the South Seas in the eighteenth century: rediscovered accounts. (Voyage round the world performed under the direction of Captain Etienne Marchand in the solide of Marseilles 1790-1792) - Volume II,

The publication of key voyaging manuscripts has contributed to the flourishing of enduring and prolific worldwide scholarship across numerous fields.

These navigators and their texts were instrumental in spurring on further exploration, annexation, and ultimately colonisation of the pacific territories in the space of only a few decades.

This series will present new sources and primary texts in English, paving the way for postcolonial critical approaches in which the reporting, writing, rewriting, and translating of Empire and the 'Other' takes precedence over the safeguarding of master narratives.

Each of the volumes contains an introduction that sets out the context in which these voyages took place and extensive annotations clarify and explain the original texts.
